Boot Problem.

Hello, i'm new here.

Anyway, ive burnt BT2 and BT3 onto dvd, and i get this error when booting up.

Fatal error occured - BT3 data not found
You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. SCSI or old PCMCIA).
Workaround: Copy the directory BT3 from your boot device to an IDE/SATA
dist, eg. to /mnt/hda1/BT3 or C:\BT3. Then try to boot again.

I've tried burning both images again at 2x, and both md5sums are fine.

I did some searching, but found no real solution to the problem. Although strangely, i did try using the BT4 beta, and that booted up perfectly fine?(strange)

I'm new to using Backtrack, so i didnt fancy using a version which is in beta(as good as it may be! )

This isnt like a vista beta or something, and you better get used to 4 if you plan on sticking with it as the kernal has changed.

bt2-bt3 = slax

bt4 = ubuntu

Also i dont know how much more help we can give you, you pretty much posted what needed to be done.

This might have something to do with it tho lol

Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
